Italy (ITA) vs Austria (AUT) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
David Alaba often occupies advanced positions for Austria and is a must-have going into this game. Marko Arnautovic is back from his suspension and should lead the line against Italy this weekend.
Italy, on the other hand, have been one of the most prolific teams at Euro 2020. Ciro Immobile and Lorenzo Insigne have forged a formidable partnership and will look to wreak havoc on Saturday.
Manuel Locatelli scored two excellent goals against Switzerland last week and will accompany Jorginho in Italy's midfield. With Giorgio Chiellini yet to recover from his knock, Alessandro Bastoni is likely to be rewarded with a start after his impressive performance against Wales.
The Dream11 Fantasy Suggestion #2 caters to those players backing Austria to pull off an upset.
